PDF slip

Hi @thijsbrouwer,

If I’m understanding correctly, you want to replace the VAT sentence with something else when the VAT is 0% right? Or do you just want to delete the sentence altogether?

Hi @yordan soares

Yes! currently I would like to replace this sentence (in all cases related to my webshop) with something saying that there is no VAT applicable.

Thanks for providing more details, @thijsbrouwer:

Try the following code snippet to customize that text when the order has zero tax:

/**
 * PDF Invoices & Packing Slips for WooCommerce:
 * Customize texts on the PDF documents (gettext)
 */
add_filter( 'wpo_wcpdf_html_filters', function( $filters, $document ) {
	// If order tax is equal to zero...
	if ( $document->order->get_total_tax() == 0 ) {
		// ...customize the VAT sentence 
		$filters[] = array( 'gettext', 'wpo_wcpdf_customize_string_translation', 999, 3 );
	} 
	return $filters;
}, 10, 2 );
function wpo_wcpdf_customize_string_translation( $translation, $text, $domain ) {
	if ( $domain == 'woocommerce' ) { // Change this for the actual plugin slug
		switch ( $text ) {
			// Repeat as many cases as strings you want to translate
			case '(includes %s)':
				$translation = '(no VAT applicable)';
				break;
		}
	}
	return $translation;
}

If you haven’t worked with code snippets (actions/filters) or functions.php before, read this guide: How to use filters

thank you very much!

I’ve a little remark; the note ‘no VAT applicable’ is currently valid for all my invoices, i think the restriction ‘order —> get_total_tax()’ is not necessary and that might make it a little easier?

thanks for your help!

Hi, @thijsbrouwer:

If all your orders are VAT exempt, then you could try the following code snippet instead, which remove the condition you have mentioned, applying the customization to all your PDF invoices:

/**
 * PDF Invoices & Packing Slips for WooCommerce:
 * Customize texts on the PDF documents (gettext)
 */
add_filter( 'wpo_wcpdf_html_filters', function( $filters, $document ) {
	$filters[] = array( 'gettext', 'wpo_wcpdf_customize_string_translation', 999, 3 );
	return $filters;
}, 10, 2 );
function wpo_wcpdf_customize_string_translation( $translation, $text, $domain ) {
	if ( $domain == 'woocommerce' ) { // Change this for the actual plugin slug
		switch ( $text ) {
			// Repeat as many cases as strings you want to translate
			case '(includes %s)':
				$translation = '(no VAT applicable)';
				break;
		}
	}
	return $translation;
}

Thank you @yordansoares !!

It works great!
